"I've seen your work. He Xin replied.

"Yo, you've also seen Thursday, Wednesday!" Ning Hao said visibly flattered.

At this time, he was such a work, and last year he also won the Best Director Award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival and the Silver Award in the College Student Film Digital Media Competition. However, just like Chief Jia's "Little Mountain Goes Home" that year, it also won awards at the Beijing University Student Film Festival, it is useless.

"Thursday, Wednesday" as a student work, except for a few screenings at the film festival, was shelved and did not have a large audience.

In addition to the crazy series, Ning Hao's works in He Xin's memory in his previous life include "The Great Gold Robbery" and "No Man's Land". I have no impression of his student work, but I accidentally saw the CD of this film in Hao Rong's office, the most important thing is that the CD is printed with the words "Director: Ning Hao", and then I heard Hao Rong introduce it as the best director of the Beijing University Student Film Festival last year, so I borrowed it and took it back to see it.

In fact, the name "Thursday, Wednesday" has nothing to do with the content of the film, the only thing that can play is the title.

The picture quality is rough, the composition and editing are actually quite average, the length of more than 70 minutes is a bit embarrassing, the long film is not like a long film, the short film is not like a short film, it is more like an unfinished work without a story.

It's just that the three stories in it are a bit like fables, and the little humorous stories inadvertently are refreshing.

"Is there a story missing from your film?"

Ning Haole was happy and said: "Many people ask this, at the beginning, I wanted to shoot four stories, and one story about a monk who repaired the temple. It was only later that I found out that the story was too long and inappropriate to put in it. ”

Saying that, this thing scratched his scalp, and said with a shy smile: "Actually, the main reason is that there is no money after filming the first three short stories, so I can only do it." ”

Don't look at this thing now that it looks harmless to humans and animals, he used to scold himself for being stupid behind his back, but He Xin has always remembered it in his heart.

At this time, He Xin took the opportunity to show a look of regret on his face and said: "That's a pity, if you add a story, it will be a complete work, and it can be taken out to participate in the film festival." ”

"I don't dare to think about this, besides, I shot it with DV, and I have to pay a lot of money to transfer the glue, and I can't afford it. Ning Hao said with a smile.

A film shot with DV or videotape will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, to say the least, Ning Hao at this time can't afford this money, and besides, participating in the film festival is such an ethereal thing, as he said, he can't even think of it, and there is no way to do it.

"You don't have to transfer the glue, I heard that next year's Hong Kong International Film Festival will add an Asian DV film competition unit, and you can go to participate in this. ”

The so-called Hong Kong International Film Festival began as an official screening of international films, Asian productions, as well as Hong Kong contemporary films and retrospective series, which were officially sponsored by the Urban Council of Hong Kong. Later, it gradually evolved into a film trading platform and a warm-up for the Academy Awards. It's similar to the Taipei International Film Festival and the Golden Horse Awards.

The Hong Kong International Film Festival is held from mid-March to early April every year, because there are no awards, it is a non-competitive screening activity, and its competition unit is basically aimed at new artists and new works.

The competition unit mainly includes rookie film competition, documentary competition, international short film competition, etc., and it was with "Little Mountain Home" that he won the gold medal in the international short film competition.

He Xin has always kept in touch with Guan Jinpeng and some Hong Kong behind-the-scenes staff who got along well at the beginning, and in addition to daily greetings, the most talked about is movies.

As a new thing, DV has gradually matured, for example, the last part of the trilogy of Jia Kechang's hometown "Let It Go" was filmed with DV, including the Busan Film Festival in South Korea, and now many film festivals have DV works screened.

As an international metropolis, Hong Kong, known as the "Hollywood of the East", is certainly not willing to be left behind. Regarding the news that next year's Hong Kong International Film Festival will add an Asian DV film competition unit, He Xin listened to Guan Jinpeng.

It is said to encourage the development of DV films in Asia.

Then He Xin deliberately disgusted the other party, and once again shook his head in a pretended regretful gesture: "It's a pity that your work is now a half-ass, and even if you take it out for the exhibition, you may not be able to win the award." ”

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as his words fell, he saw the fathead fish sitting next to him looking at him with sparkling eyes, and couldn't wait to say, "Mr. He, so you have a way to help me compete?"

"Uh......"

He didn't expect this product to play cards according to common sense, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "I can help you ask about this, but you are now a half-......."

"It's okay, it's okay, I can make up the story of the monk who turned into a monk and built a temple. ”

"Do you have time? The film festival opens in mid-March, and the works will be handed in at least by the end of February. ”

"Yes, I took a picture when I went home for the New Year during winter vacation. ”

"Is it too late for post-production?"

"Cut the film and add some music, it's absolutely fine. ”

"That'...... I'll ask you then, but I'm not sure if it will work out. ”

When He Xin said this, he regretted it in his heart, this is disgusting, it is clearly disgusting to himself, and he is looking for trouble for himself!

Also, this is a stupid fat-headed fish, it is clear that he is a shrewd monkey or not, and his ability to climb along the pole is strong, no wonder he opened a film company in later generations and called Bad Monkey Pictures.

"That's okay, it's okay, as long as you're willing to help, besides, you've worked with Hong Kong directors before, this path must be wide!"

Ooh!

Listening to the tone of this goods, it is clear that he must help him get this done.

"Well, then I'll ask Director Guan Jinpeng to help you ask. ”

After speaking, he no longer wanted to deal with this bad monkey disguised as a fat-headed fish, so he took out the character pass he wrote about Liu Dongbei from his bag and handed it to Shen Yan, who was sitting opposite, with a polite smile on his face, and said: "Director Shen, this is a character biography I wrote, please take a look." ”

Character biography has become a compulsory course for He Xin to study characters, and many times he doesn't write one, and even sometimes when he is filming, he has new insights, he will continue to supplement and improve, and take it out and flip it over when he has nothing to do. For example, when filming "Purple Butterfly" not long ago, he wrote four or five biographies about Situ.

But obviously, when Shen Yan took over the biography, a hint of surprise obviously flashed on his face, and then after spending nearly a quarter of an hour carefully reading this nearly 10,000-word biography, he first complimented him very politely, and then talked about his feelings about this biography.

He Xin always felt that this Director Shen was a little too polite and cautious, and couldn't help but say: "Director Shen, this is just my personal understanding of the role, if you have any different opinions, just point them out, can we discuss them together?"

"Oh, of course you can. Shen Yan pushed his glasses and said hurriedly.

After that, Shen Yan gradually let go and put forward a lot of different opinions. I can hear that he has a very clear understanding of all the relationships between the characters in the script, and he is also the first to say it.

Of course, He Xin will not blindly follow, he accepts it humbly when he thinks it makes sense, but he will also argue for some contradictory opinions.

After some exchanges, the relationship between the two, which was still a little rusty and polite, quickly became closer. Overall, He Xin has a good impression of this new director, at least he has something to say, and he is a director with more ideas.

"Director Shen, do we have a schedule for this play, will it be filmed in the capital then?" He Xin finally asked.

In fact, this matter is strange to say, generally when a drama begins to prepare, the first thing to determine is the filming location and start-up schedule, which is convenient for the preparation before the start-up, and it is also conducive to the coordination of the schedule.

For example, the "Tianlong Babu" that my girlfriend is filming now, once the project is established, it began to build Tianlong Babu City in Dali in Yunnan Province and Jinhua in Zhejiang Province at the same time for filming, and it was also determined that the film would start in mid-August and be closed at the beginning of the next year, and the filming period would be tentatively scheduled for five months, and then the actors would be searched.

But he has been getting the script for this drama for almost half a month, and he promised that next, the film company will even open the salary, but no one will tell him when to start filming and where to shoot. Even when I met with the director today and talked so much, the other party didn't even say a word. He Xin had to ask questions this time

"The filming location is set in Qingdao, but the start date has not yet been determined. When Shen Yan answered, his expression was actually a little embarrassed.

"Still undecided?"

He Xin was stunned for a moment, he was worried about whether there would be a conflict with the schedule of "The Landscape of Love", which will be filmed after the New Year, and then asked, "Can you have an approximate date?"

"This ......"

Shen Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said a little hesitantly: "It turned out that it was supposed to start after the National Day, but it was just ...... Well, it's just that after Mr. Chen Daoming read the script, he had some different opinions, uh...... I still have to discuss it with the screenwriter Mr. Wang Hailing, so I have to move it back for the time being, but I think it won't be too long, and it is estimated that it will be able to start at the end of October or the beginning of November. ”

He Xin understood it, it was nothing more than a drama bully, changing the script, just these two items. At the same time, I also saw that Shen Yan, as a rookie director, had no human rights, and Mr. Chen didn't take him seriously at all.

However, what He Xin didn't know was that after reading the script, Director Chen liked this play very much, but he was very worried about Shen Yan, who was directing a long drama for the first time, and specially came forward to find Zhao Baogang, a director who is good at filming this kind of family ethics theme.

To be able to invite a big director like Zhao Baogang, the producer is of course overjoyed.

But fortunately, Da Gangzi refused Chen Daoming's invitation, not that he didn't have a schedule, but that his filming style was fully devoted to the play, and the whole person's emotions would go with the plot.

Da Gangzi had just finished filming "What to Save You, My Love" that made him very depressed in the first half of the year, and he was planning to retreat to heal his wounds, and when he saw this "Chinese-style Divorce" that was even more depressing than "What to Save You, My Love", even if the script was well written, he was unwilling to do it, for fear that he would suffer from depression after directing this play.

It is precisely because of these two reasons that Shen Yan's current situation is quite embarrassing, and he has no face to talk to He Xin at all.

If it starts in November, He Xin is not worried about conflicts with the filming of "Scenery of Love" at all, and even if the final schedule overlaps a little, because they are all filmed in Qingdao, it is very convenient to adjust.

Regarding the filming location of the drama "Chinese-style Divorce" in Qingdao, which He Xin likes very much, I still have to thank Mr. Chen here, because at the beginning, Shen Yan planned to shoot in Beijing, but Mr. Chen had filmed "Black Hole" in Qingdao before, and he had a good feeling for the city, so he once again put forward his "small opinion" for the producer's reference.

One is a top actor in China, and the other is a rookie director who was almost replaced to direct a feature film for the first time, and he also refers to a fart!

"Brother, you said that I scolded him for being a fool at the door of the bathroom before, will he hear it?"

After saying goodbye to both parties at the door of the teahouse, Ning Hao and Shen Yan watched the back of He Xin riding a bicycle away, and Ning Hao suddenly asked.

"Probably not, otherwise how would he suggest that you go to the Hong Kong International Film Festival next year, and help you contact Director Guan Jinpeng for recommendation. ”

Shen Yan shook his head, this time he met with He Xin, he had a very good impression of the other party, because the other party at least gave him full respect as a director. For Shen Yan, who is still in an embarrassing situation, this is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

But Ning Hao looked puzzled, habitually scratched his scalp, and said in pieces: "But how do I feel that he brought it up on purpose......

However, he immediately felt that this seemed a little unlikely, and laughed at himself: "Fortunately, I am thick-skinned, otherwise I would have been depressed and would have missed such a good opportunity in vain." ”
